Re: Wellbrook traced-out loop amp schematics uploaded to Photos
The parallel resistors also reduce power dissipation in the pot. Without them the pot will get quite warm, reducing its life.

Re: Wellbrook traced-out loop amp schematics uploaded to Photos
Besides that: (without parallel resistors), if the wiper arm of the pot goes open-circuit the circuit doesn't just go out of spec....it DIES.? This is probably not as uncommon a failure as you'd

Looks like you were promoted to "Owner" in more than one of Steve's groups.

Re: Er... I think something is wrong
Yes, that does mean the group's original Owner (Steve Greenfield) has selected you as one of the group's Owners.? An Owner is like a super-Moderator.? You have the power to create and destroy.

It may be as simple as a 100¦¸ pot was more available than a 50¦¸ pot.
Also the adjustment will be less touchy, easier to set.

If you want to protect the loop against static atmospheric voltages to earth, you need to connect the diodes to ground. Ground means real ground/earth, not GND/minus of the amplifier.

Hi everyone
As the owner of an ageing ALA1530LN since Wellbrook ceased trading I have been trying to find a replacement amp unit before mine finally succumbs to the wet & windy English weather. With

Re: Schematic & PCB design software
Doesn't using ExpressPCB lock you into using their manufacturing service, at least for the first order?

Re: Does anyone know what cases CCW uses?
Ill bore you with the physical exam yesterday. The physical therapist met us at the orthopedist's office with the surgeon and 2 x-ray techs. I thought I knew what torture was, I've now had a post

Re: Schematic & PCB design software
Hi everyone
I just wanted to thank members for their schematic/PCB design suggestions, I am getting reasonably good results using ExpressPCB and will post the results once finished.
Thanks

Re: A quick report on the Multi-function Tester (TC-V2.12k)
The Multi-function Tester (TC-V2.12k) is good for identifying parts, testing to see if they are good, but the transistor and JFET matching function uses too little gate current for most useful

Re: A quick report on the Multi-function Tester (TC-V2.12k)
I got this one; https://www.ebay.com/itm/285523623993?var=587474074108
No case but uses a real Atmel Chip. I use it all the time. When salvaging parts from old equipment
no need to identify just plug

Re: Does anyone know what cases CCW uses?
I think Ethernet has great promise because of the tight twist. I did some ingress tests at a site roughly in the center of a triangle of all the Lexington MW stations and Ethernet was almost as good

Re: Does anyone know what cases CCW uses?
In all honesty i suspect Chris will be happy to talk with you especially as you are using one of his Ethernet early models..all his now are coax due to people being scared of Ethernet/ demand.

I'll risk it later today. I have to go in for detailed X-rays so they can pick the best fitting replacement joint.
It sounds horrible but my right knee is so much better words fail me.

Re: Does anyone know what cases CCW uses?
Chris is quite reasonable, ask..even if just get response its made of xyz plastic. Also the fact that his product is still as good as new is a positive remark on said group.
